Commendable Enterprise.

There is no question that Alamo street
from Commerce street to the Main plaza
Is not wide enough to accommodate the
great amount OF traffic that passes
through it. especially at the former end
which is much narrower than the post
Office end. Its widening became an
absolute necessity. George DullDig saw
this and therefore in erecting his hand
some block he put 1t back considerably,
and now Messrs. Joske Bros, with COM
mendable enterprise in erecting their
new pslatial building, propose TO put
back their building considerably on
Alamo street, and to run 1t in line
with the German Catholic church on
East Commerce street. This will widen
both streets and make decided I'm
prOvement to the appearance and
capacity Of both important streets.

FACTS AND HEARSAYS.

The point taken by Thobe is that the
returns were not properly certified, and
that the election may be wholly invaii-
dated thereby.
The resignation of Martin 5. Chandler,
Surveyor General of Minnesota, has been
accepted by the President.
Representative Long, of Massachusetts,
has been invited to deliver a eulogy on
the late Charles Francis Adams.
Mrs. Lucille De c. Pickett, of Vir-
ginia, has been appointed a copyist in the
Patent Office, under the civil service
rules, at 1900 per year
The Secretary of State has recon-
mended to Congress that some relief 5e
afforded to the widow of the late Moses
A. Hopkins, Minister to Liberia.
Representative Reagan has written to
a friend at the Capitol that he has found
things more favorable to his election TO
the Senate than they appeared before he
went TO Texas. He expressed confidence
Of his election.
The Secretary of the Treasury has esti-
mated that the collection of the revenue
for the next fiscal year will require the
employment of 40S5 persons, at an ag-
gregate salary of S5O50,s13. This amount
will be incre. sed to $6,j40,S13 by the
temporary roll, appropriation for the pre-
vention of fraud, etc.
Mr.. Sherman has offered in the Senate
an amendment to be proposed to the sun
dry civil bill to appropriate $4,000 to put
new fences around the cemeteries IN
which Confederate dead are buried
near Columbus, Ohio, and on Johnson
Island Accompanying the amendment
is an extract from the recent annual
message of Governor Foraker, in which
he refers to the dilapidated condition OF
the fences and the neglected state of the
grounds, and adds: THE hatred and
deteststion that all loyal people must
and should ever entertain for the de-
structive political doctrines that these
men fought for ought not to stand in the
way of either cordial feeling toward
the living who have abandoned such
heresies, or proper regard and Christian
respect for the graves of the dead who
although wrong yet heroically and yalor
ously contended for the convictions they
entertained.
